I know these are a lot of questions, you don't have to answer them all but I really appreciate you input and opinions! Thanks guys!

I live in Southern California. I'm 25 years old. I've played guitar for over 10 years and I am a producer, mixing engineer, songwriter, singer, guitarist, and recording artist. I love jamming, recording, and making riffs for fun!

So the reason I'm asking all these questions is because I'm planning on starting a website that teaches people how to write their own riffs. I have seen a whole bunch of guitar lessons and most of them only teach you technique but they don't teach you how to create and be original.

My musical genre of expertise is Modern Alternative Rock in all of its shades and forms from Light Radio Friendly to Modern Heavy Alt Rock. In my website, I'm planning to teach only the following rock sub-genres because I'm confident that I can write and teach well in these styles and also because I grew up listening to this type of music. Here's a list of the rock sub-genres that I am confident teaching how to write guitar riffs:

I don't even play guitar anymore and love pop, electronic music and hip hop.

I'm being honest. I read through the questions and saw that one and immediately nope'd. No one in their right mind would pay $5 for a 10 minute video. There's literally thousands of 10+ minute tutorials on YouTube for free.

But if it helps you any, I'm a heavy metal player, and no, I'm not interested in learning how to play like other people. I can already record my own guitar from home, albeit very shittily, and yes there are enough people on the internet to want to know how to use a website to learn guitar, it's called Ultimate-Guitar.

I feel as though a website teaching technique would be much more useful to a person. One that teaches how to write riffs? My opinion is that cool ideas for riffs is something that comes naturally to musicians, whether it's through fiddling around on the fretboard or premeditated creation. Better technique and skills are what enable musicians to realize those ideas.

So I think something that teaches technique would be more useful. Still, the prices that you're asking are completely unreasonable. I'd start it off as a free service -- that's the only way people are going to use it. If your service is actually useful and good, and people recognize it as such, maybe then start charging for certain things.

It's not a very sound business strategy considering the following. 1 there is this amazing website for videos called YouTube. 2 musicians are cheap bastards and are not going to pay 5 dollars for a ten minute video. 3 no one knows who in the bloody hell you are if I am going to pay for a video lesson it better be someone famous for teaching and/or playing the guitar.

If you want to teach guitar I suggest you find a music shop.
